My basic dislike for systemd is it a large change to the overall system, and doesn't provide me any benefits that I can tell. Beyond that, I've experienced or read about many negative things.

a) I ran into an issue with changes in startup scripts in Debian which meant I could no longer hit ctrl-c to stop network initialization on a laptop when it couldn't get a dhcp lease (it was either not connecting well to wifi , or trying to get a lease on a disconnected wired NIC; it was a while ago, I don't quite remember)

b) there have been many secuirty issues in systemd and systemd-* utilities. Quite a few of which were repeats of issues existing daemons had been through, that shouldn't have been repeated.

c) I have read that in default configurations a user's programs will be terminated after the user logs out; that's not acceptable for me, and a large change in default behavior

For me, systemd is yet another churny subsystem that drives aggrivation, so since I was already exposed to FreeBSD through work, it made sense to me to go in that direction at home, instead of sticking with Debian and accepting systemd.
